Basil, extra virgin olive oil, and pecorino cheese are synonymous with Italian cuisine. The Tuscan cooperative known as Il Forteto in Mugello (near Florence) has united these flavors in Basilio cheese. Basil and extra virgin olive oil are rubbed on the rind and melded with soft pecorinos to create harmonious pesto flavors.

Love the hint of basil. Not overpowering. Pecorino not very salty, more mellow flavor.

Great service, great cheese

Excellent pecorino, which was initially delayed by FedEx due to weather and arrived several days late. After a quick email to iGourmet, new cheese was sent out right away, no further questions asked. It arrived on time and was divine. I will continue to shop here.
